I probably put too much emphasis on cognition in my original comment. Based off the Global Assessment of Functioning Scale I’d probably stand by my score.

Compared to normies I get an F. I don’t know how I compare to other people with schizophrenia.

I do alright. I don’t like to compare myself typically, but I think I do well enough that most normies can’t tell anything is wrong with me in short bouts.

According to that GAF grading scale, I would probably be around 51-60, which I felt like I would’ve gotten better than that, but I’m not sure. I’m pretty great at communicating, I just can’t make eye contact and have only one friend, who I haven’t talked to in at least a month. I also have flat affect, and pretty bad hygeine. I usually shower once a week, maybe twice. I feel like I’m definitely not that bad when it comes to disorganised thinking. I’m a pretty paranoid person I would say, and that affects me a lot sometimes. If I were to give myself a score 1-100, I would probably choose around 73.

I think I’m at 50% right now. I’ve not really been doing much of anything lately. My therapist thinks I’ll be able to function normally at a job though. I hope her confidence in me is not baseless.

I’m a functioning 100 but only on all of my meds. I still have some negatives but I function in spite of them. The thing that holds me back from working is my sleep schedule. It is highly, and I mean highly erratic. I can get zero sleep one night and 14 hours of sleep the next and anything in between. In order to function on the job, you have to get your sleep. My sleep is one big question mark.

I do pretty well, but I still have occasional breakthough symptoms and problems with handing things people say. I go up and down, but not too extreme. Been taking a big break from showering for no apparent reason, but will do it if I leave the house today to go shopping. It’s hard to put a number on it, i’d just let someone else tell me what they think. I get rated all the time for the study I’m in, but they don’t tell me anything about their ratings. Just a lot of repetitive questions.

30 on a bad day, 55 on a good day.
I need 80+ super productive days, but I’m not going to get that waking up at 11 AM.

I will find out between tomorrow 2/22 (Fingers crossed!!!) and 3/8. I am getting agitated a bit but it’s probably being off Zoloft. I was on Zoloft for 8 years, once your body gets adapted, it will take time to dial back so to speak.
Believe me, I will let you guys know, it would really be wonderful !

I think I should score between 60-70. If I did not have this extreme fatigue, I would be 80. I’m looking for supplements to cope with fatigue.

The GAF score was a DSM4 thing. I used to get one every time I went to the VA. Mine was always around 50 but they don’t give those out anymore.

It’s really variable day to day. I guess I would say about 60-70. I can function when I need to, but I still get really bad days like today where I had to leave class because it was impossible to pay attention because of the radio announcer and the drums, whereas earlier today, I was fine at work.

my diagnosis and symptoms are a C+ I put in much effort keeping the weight off and finding a decent job. I give my effort an A-. Overall a B with potential to get a higher mark.

Somewhere in the middle. I can’t work, I can only study at a slow rate (I just put it on hold until next year), I often have problems participating with hobbies and interests, I have some problems in social situations particularly with romantic relationships, my sleep is irregular, I wash less than once a week and don’t cook for my self.
However I do participate in degree level education to an extent, I do participate in hobbies and interests to an extent with some success. I see friends multiple times a week I am going to live alone soon (with support from mental health services and family). I no longer have depressed mood, suicidal thinking or paranoia/anxiety.
